In this era of political assassinations on every corner of the planet, Israel – with US advance knowledge, consent, and coordination – attacked with 15 American-made fighter jets a house where the Hamas leadership was meeting in Doha on September 9th, convened there at the request of the US to deliver an overdue ceasefire in Gaza. Not all of the Hamas negotiating team was killed in this strike, and Leiter stated, speaking to Fox News, "We'll get them next time."

US Ambassador to Turkey, Envoy to Syria and Trump messenger to Beirut Tom Barrack told the "animalistic" Arab media in Lebanon, and the rest of the world, on May 25th, 2025, that Sykes-Picot is dead, saying:

A century ago, the West imposed maps, mandates, penciled borders, and foreign rule. Sykes-Picot divided Syria and the broader region for imperial gain—not peace. That mistake cost generations. We will not make it again. The era of Western interference is over. The future belongs to regional solutions, but partnerships, and a diplomacy grounded in respect.

Barrack was celebrating the collapse and dissolution of Syria, newly presidented by a former ISIS commander, with a $10 million bounty on his head hurriedly removed by the White House. US lawlessness has also been on display with regards to Israel as a nuclear power and terrorist state since at least June 8th 1967, and likely since 1963, and even more likely since 1948. In blindly supporting the lawlessness of the founding and the existence of modern Israel, a political Zionist European-style state colonized on top of Palestine, the US government has dug a political and reputational hole six feet deep and shaped like a coffin.

Washington cannot recognize Israel's undisclosed and un-inspected nuclear weapons – to do so would require that US military sales be ended immediately. Congressional legislation requires such standards in weapons sales. The existing and long-standing lack of political and human rights safeguards in Israel, and the use of US weapons in illegal military attacks and extrajudicial assassinations around the world, would deprive Israel of US military assistance, as the law provides.
